Starting a Django project and installed app not found while using `makemigrations`

[mbegur]

Hey all, starting a new project and running into an issue making migrations as Django doesn’t seem to include my added app of itinerary even though it is clearly in INSTALLED_APPS. This is what happens when trying to makemigrations. It also doesn’t work when not specifying an app.

(venv-travelapp) travelapp_backend % python manage.py makemigrations itinerary

No installed app with label 'itinerary'.

I have no issues running the server, so this is very strange. I have tried a venv with python 3.12.3 and 3.10.4 with the same issue above. I’m using Django 5.0.6 and haven’t seen any issues around this online so it must be something i’m doing wrong on my machine. Any help would be appreciated!

First, please avoid posting images of code here. Copy/paste the code into your post, between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted.

What are the contents of your itinerary/apps.py file?
